Abstract
Aim
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative embolization in reducing intraoperative blood loss and transfusion requirements, as well as its impact on recurrence in patients with histopathologically confirmed aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs).
Methods
A retrospective review was conducted on 107 patients who underwent surgical treatment for ABC at a tertiary oncology center between 2004 and 2023. Patients were grouped based on whether they received preoperative embolization (n = 50) or not (n = 57). Data collected included demographic features, lesion location, estimated blood loss (EBL), erythrocyte suspension (ES) transfusion volume, operative time, VAS scores, and recurrence rates.
Results
Patients in the embolization group had significantly lower EBL (772 ± 445.4 ml vs. 1220.17 ± 523.37 ml; p < 0.001), VAS scores (2.14 ± 1.92 vs. 3.61 ± 2.52; p = 0.002), and ES transfusion volumes (312 ± 337.2 ml vs. 580.7 ± 394.8 ml; p < 0.001). Recurrence rates were also lower in the embolization group (8 % vs. 24.6 %; p = 0.023). Operative time did not differ significantly (p = 0.089).
Conclusion
In conclusion, the use of preoperative embolization in patients with aneurysmal bone cysts may help reduce intraoperative blood loss, transfusion requirements, and the likelihood of postoperative recurrence. In light of its potential to minimize both intraoperative complications and long-term recurrence, embolization should be considered as a component of preoperative planning in appropriately selected cases of ABC.
期刊介绍:
Transfusion and Apheresis Science brings comprehensive and up-to-date information to physicians and health care professionals involved in the rapidly changing fields of transfusion medicine, hemostasis and apheresis. The journal presents original articles relating to scientific and clinical studies in the areas of immunohematology, transfusion practice, bleeding and thrombotic disorders and both therapeutic and donor apheresis including hematopoietic stem cells. Topics covered include the collection and processing of blood, compatibility testing and guidelines for the use of blood products, as well as screening for and transmission of blood-borne diseases. All areas of apheresis - therapeutic and collection - are also addressed. We would like to specifically encourage allied health professionals in this area to submit manuscripts that relate to improved patient and donor care, technical aspects and educational issues.
Transfusion and Apheresis Science features a "Theme" section which includes, in each issue, a group of papers designed to review a specific topic of current importance in transfusion and hemostasis for the discussion of topical issues specific to apheresis and focuses on the operators'' viewpoint. Another section is "What''s Happening" which provides informal reporting of activities in the field. In addition, brief case reports and Letters to the Editor, as well as reviews of meetings and events of general interest, and a listing of recent patents make the journal a complete source of information for practitioners of transfusion, hemostasis and apheresis science. Immediate dissemination of important information is ensured by the commitment of Transfusion and Apheresis Science to rapid publication of both symposia and submitted papers.
